Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Mohammad Sayeed Khokon voiced a note of warning of taking stern actions against the traders who would sell the essential commodities at illegally hiked prices during the holy month of Ramzan.
“Actions will be taken where there will be irregularities,” the mayor said this on Saturday while visiting the essential commodity market at Hatirpul in the city on the eve of the Ramzan.
He said eight city corporation teams led by executive magistrates will monitor 29 kitchen markets in the DSCC areas during the Ramzan.
During the mayor’s visit, DSCC Executive Magistrate Mamun Sarder, in a mobile court, fined a shop named ‘Liton Store’ Taka 20,000 for selling commodities at prices more than the fixed ones.
